Hi Nathaniel,
pandas
yup, the idea was to have minimal pandas.DataFrame-like storage (which I was using for a long time), but without irritating problems with its row indexing and some other problems like interaction with matplotlib.
A dict of arrays?
that's what I've started from and implemented, but at some point I decided that I'm reinventing the wheel and numpy has something already. In principle, I can ignore this 'column-oriented' storage requirement, but potentially it may turn out to be quite slow-ish if dtype's size is large. Suggestions are welcome. Another strange question: in general, it is considered that once numpy.array is created, it's shape not changed. But if i want to keep the same recarray and change it's dtype and/or shape, is there a way to do this? Thanks, Alex.

Maybe it's better to ask directly what I was looking for: something that works like a table with named columns (but no labelling for rows), and keeps data (of different dtypes) in a column-by-column way (and this is numpy, not pandas).
Is there such a magic thing?
Well, that's what pandas is for...
A dict of arrays?
